Background info: Dan Kionka founded the group originally as a
PC Unix SIG in 1988, which quickly became a Linux group in the early 90's.
He ran the group for 10 years until it was ready to fly on its own. The
tradition of 2-year terms for the SVLUG President was established when
Ben Spade became the first elected SVLUG president in 1998-1999. Chris
DiBona was president in 2000, but had to step down after a year when he
was moving out of the area. So the 2-year terms were shifted back a year
to begin in odd-numbered years. Marc Merlin was president in 2001-2002.
Don Marti is the current president, serving for the 2003-2004 term.
